It Was a Tuesday

Car carcasses
White lines
Marches of dignity 
And frozen hearts

A rational upkeep-
A decision to be made
Exclamations on the phone
A process of quantity
The march continues 
At mach pace

Mcdonald’s run-ins 
Plastics and suffocated meat 
Caffeine expressions 
And salty ham fists 
A shopping carts delight 
Fill the banks and the books
The receipt processor talks 
We cannot utter 

Pleasant geometric configurations
Jewelry stands and wallet stuffers
Luminescent signs 
Less cost, more quantity 
Overwhelming deals 
Furniture and fixtures 
Someone coughs in line 
Cashier sputtering salacious hellos 
A ringing receipt on a nice day

Homesteads filled 
The deal continues 
Fresh jackets and shiny emblems
To announce 
To announce 
We were here
In skeleton and footsteps
We got a good deal
Prices less than before 
It was a Tuesday
